Regulation of cashmere fineness traits by noncoding RNA in Jiangnan cashmere goats

BMC Genomics, 2023
Abstract Background Cashmere has long been used as the raw material for wool textiles. The diameter of the cashmere fibre determines its quality and economic value. However, the regulatory role of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in cashmere fineness remains unclear, especially regarding the interaction between ncRNAs and coding ...

Hair Follicle Development and Cashmere Traits in Albas Goat Kids

Animals, 2023
The objectives of this trial were to study the growth and development of hair follicles and cashmere traits in cashmere goats and to provide a theoretical basis for the regulation of secondary hair follicle development and the scientific breeding selection of cashmere goats. Twelve single-fetal female kids were selected as research objects. A long-term

Relationships between cashmere production and other important economic traits of Inner Mongolia cashmere goats [PDF]

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2019
Previous studies have shown that cashmere production (CP) is related to fibre length (FL), mean fibre diameter (MFD) and live body weight (LWT) in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats (IMCGs). However, the correlation magnitudes of these relationships have not been determined to date.

Estimation of genetic parameters for horn traits and essential economic traits in Inner Mongolia Cashmere goats [PDF]

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2021
Horns are unique cranial appendages in ruminants, and horn traits are useful in the indirect selection of growth traits in goat. However, genetic parameters for horns have not been estimated in Inner Mongolia Cashmere goats. In this study, we collected pedigree information with 7 632 records from 2 049 Inner Mongolia Cashmere goats during 2017 to 2019 ...

Combining Untargeted and Targeted Proteomic Strategies for Discrimination and Quantification of Cashmere Fibers. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Cashmere is regarded as a specialty and luxury fiber due to its scarcity and high economic value. For fiber quality assessment, it is technically very challenging to distinguish and quantify the cashmere fiber from yak or wool fibers because of their ...

Convergent Genomic Signatures of Cashmere Traits: Evidence for Natural and Artificial Selection

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Convergent evolution provides powerful opportunities to investigate the genetic basis of complex traits. The Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) and Siberian ibex (Capra sibirica) belong to different subfamilies in Bovidae, but both have evolved similar superfine cashmere characteristics to meet the cold temperature in plateau environments.

Sequence Variation in Caprine KRTAP6-2 Affects Cashmere Fiber Diameter

Animals, 2022
Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are a structural component of cashmere fibers and in part determine fiber attributes. The gene encoding the high-glycine/tyrosine KAP6-2 (called KRTAP6-2) has been described in sheep, but it has not been identified ...

Association analysis for SNPs of KRT26 and TCHH genes with cashmere production performance, body measurement traits and milk production traits in Liaoning cashmere goats

Animal Biotechnology, 2021
Cashmere fineness is getting thicker, which is one of the key problems in cashmere breeding, however, there have been no systematic studies on the molecular regulation of cashmere fineness. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between KRT26 and TCHH gene polymorphism and production performance in Liaoning cashmere goats (LCG).
